Parkview Haven

101 Constitution Dr, Francesville, IN 47946
Overview of Parkview Haven

Parkview Haven is a 90-bed skilled nursing and rehabilitation facility in Francesville, Indiana, providing short-term rehabilitation, respite care, and long-term skilled nursing. The facility is operated by Pulaski Memorial Hospital, a county governmental entity, and participates in both Medicare and Medicaid.

Across 14 inspection visits since 2022, Parkview Haven recorded 27 deficiencies — 25% below the Indiana average of 36 — with no civil money penalties and no immediate jeopardy findings. A December 2023 complaint investigation substantiated physical and verbal abuse by a staff member, with two federal deficiencies cited under abuse and failure-to-report regulations; the involved employee was terminated, and subsequent complaint investigations through March 2025 found no deficiencies.

The facility holds a 3-star CMS overall rating, with a 4-star staffing rating reflecting nurse hours averaging 4 hours and 5 minutes per resident per day — roughly 15% above the Indiana average. Quality measures, by contrast, is rated 1 star, driven by elevated rates of falls with major injury and functional decline among long-stay residents.

The facility operates as a Continuing Care Community with outpatient rehabilitation services and an Assisted Living Medicaid Waiver program. The facility’s current occupancy rate is 53%, below Indiana’s average of 68%, indicating available capacity. Medicare accounts for 45% of new admissions, with typical stays lasting one to two months.

Parkview Haven is best suited for short-term post-acute rehabilitation in Pulaski County, with a staffing profile and payer mix oriented toward Medicare recovery stays rather than long-term placement. However, families should review the lower quality-measure performance and prior abuse-related findings before making a placement decision.

It has only operated for a year and provides skilled nursing care, short-term rehabilitation, and residential or assisted living support.

Rehabilitation services and outpatient therapy are available for residents recovering from surgery, hospitalization, and other acute health events. The facility also has 24-hour staffing for continuous skilled nursing support.

The community’s location has a Walk Score of 30, so there’s limited walkability. Some nearby services and errands may be reached on foot, but most trips require transportation.

State inspections identified concerns about fire safety and facilities maintenance systems. However, the facility’s compliance with care protocols has been periodically investigated and corrected. The facility is best suited for residents who require close medical oversight and daily hands-on support within a structured care environment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What government services provide money for senior housing?

Several government programs offer financial assistance for senior housing in various countries, focusing on the United States for a broad overview:

  • Medicaid: Medicaid is a state and federally funded program that can cover the costs of nursing home care for those who meet eligibility criteria, including income and asset limits. Some states also offer Medicaid waivers that help pay for home and community-based services to prevent or delay nursing home placement.
  • Medicare: Medicare, primarily a health insurance program for people aged 65 and over, does not cover long-term housing costs. However, it can cover short-term stays in a skilled nursing facility under specific conditions following a hospital stay.
  • Section 202 Supportive Housing for the Elderly Program: This program provides housing for low-income seniors. It offers rental assistance and access to supportive services, such as cleaning, cooking, and transportation.
  • Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) Properties: While not a direct subsidy, LIHTC encourages developers to create affordable housing. Seniors with low incomes can find reduced-rent apartments through this program.
  • State and Local Programs: Many states, counties, and cities offer their own programs to assist seniors with housing costs. These can include property tax relief programs, rental assistance programs, and programs that offer affordable senior housing options.
  • Veterans Affairs (VA): The VA offers several programs for veterans, including the Aid and Attendance benefit, which provides monthly payments to veterans who require the aid of another person, or are housebound, to help cover the cost of care in homes, nursing homes, and assisted living facilities.
  • Social Security: While Social Security primarily provides retirement income, for many seniors, these benefits are a crucial part of their budget, including housing costs.
How do you pick the homes you recommend?

Before recommending homes, we conduct a thorough evaluation on crucial factors that define a senior home such as the quality of care they provide, the reputation of the organization, and a comprehensive review of community testimonials as well. Every detail is assessed to assure that seniors are offered not just senior care options, but trustworthy homes where they can experience the care that they deserve.

Do you help families that need Medicaid?

Yes. Assisting families who need Medicaid is important to us as it plays a crucial role in offering financial support to seniors confronting economic challenges. We would like to keep essential healthcare services accessible to all community members, irrespective of one’s financial circumstances.

How much does this service cost?

We extend our services at no cost, ensuring that families and seniors can benefit from tailored assistance in their search for care and home options. Our ability to offer personalized guidance without charge to families and seniors is made possible through the support and funding from the communities with which we team up.

Frequently Asked Questions about Independent Living in Indiana

What is independent living?

Independent living communities are residential settings for active older adults — typically with private apartments or cottages, shared amenities (dining, fitness, activities), and no built-in medical care.

How many independent living communities are listed on this page?

This page features 230 independent living communities in Indiana. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right independent living community in Indiana?

Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in Indiana, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.

What should I look for when visiting independent living communities in Indiana?

Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered. Ask to see the most recent state inspection report, the move-out / level-of-care-change policy, and a sample monthly bill that lists every fee.
